There are a few perks to running our lovely glamping business π We recently took advantage of an empty midweek evening, and let the children run free in the yurt and field, while we supped on some wine, cooked on the BBQ, and took in the views. Once the yurt had been thoroughly explored, it…
A Day Trip to Hestercombe Gardens
We are incredibly lucky at Somerset Yurts, to be very close to a number of fabulous places to visit. One of the closest to us is Hestercombe Gardens, as its woodland comes right up next to our farm, and is viewable from the yurts – in fact you’ll watch the sun set over Hestercombe Wood…
Yurt Meadow Mown and Baled
A busy morning at the yurts Β with another fully booked weekend, so all the yurts to make up. Lucky yurters again this weekend as there are nothing but blue skies forecast for a few days! Mark was also busy this week mowing the yurt field – this has been a bit overdue, so the grass…
A Tour of the Yurts and Dutch Barn Facilities

Review Roundup!
We’ve been really lucky to have some guests review our yurts over the last couple of months. We love seeing how our guests spend their time at the yurts, and we think they do a great job of explaining exactly what glamping in a Yurt in Somerset is like! If you are wondering what it…
Farm News – First Silage Cut

Glamping Holiday at Somerset Yurts – Reviewed and Approved by Katy Hill
We recently had the pleasure of meeting Katy Hill and her lovely family, when they stayed in Cherrygrove yurt during the early May Bank Holiday. Katy had previously stayed in a yurt while filming a feature for Blue Peter, so was really keen to stay in an authentic Mongolian yurt (or ger, as they are…
Somerset Yurts – Season Four!
Wow, what a busy couple of month’s we’ve had getting the yurts ready for our fourth season! We can’t believe it’s season four already – only really feels like yesterday we opened for our very first guests in May 2011. We’re fully booked for the Easter break, but still have plenty of availability throughout May,…
Winter Update
We hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year? We certainly did, although it feels like ages ago now! As we move into February, we are already looking forward to the Spring, with a few new calves already being born – things are going to start getting hectic again on the farm! As you’ve…
